Updates & Reportbacks
Bugs/Technical
Priority bugs we need help with are located
at:http://peoplesopen.net/helpwanted- For a high-level overview of
recent Github activity, see the
Trello:https://trello.com/invite/b/r9l5ouQ4/3b2eecd83bb9e7a57a339cf1ee03828…
* 1) Public & private network traffic route through same IP - open,
needs a patch
* 2) Give priority to non-peoplesopen traffic - rather than %
bandwidth, prioritize private traffic over public traffic (eg, when
not home, all bandwidth can be allocated to the public network)
o sierk: via jorrit - percentage set by the tunnel - -> how to
allocate dynamically on the tunneldigger
* 4) netflix traffic blocked
* 5) disable debug logging - benny working on this, patching
* 8) tunnelbroker fails intermittently - exitnode issues. jorrit fixed
a lot of this. new exit node up & running
* 17) add more exit nodes - grant wrote a patch for this. needs to be
tested thoroughly and pushed from server -> nodes on the network
o Bengo - made a script that spins up exit nodes. anyone can use
this script to build an exit nodes:
* 18) Define remote node patch procedure - plz join the conversation
-https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/18
o related to #20 - define who has remote node access
* bengo
madehttps://gitlab.ops.bengo.is/ben/mesh-network#digitalocean-exitnode-
an easy script to spin up exitnodes in digitalocean droplets

* benny: doug was super nice, had a big ladder. we were 5-6 people.
o benny: was wondering how many people grant knew, we were very
lax, but we checked with him first, hopefully help with electricity.
o grant: currently pointing toward Dev's (thought i could see it
thru binoculars). also has a good view to the northeast (toward
rockridge). trained 4 newbies!
o benny - also learned we should always bring a roll of cable
o eve - cost of crimpers?
+ jenny - from precision, $70, but can find them on ebay for $35
# eve would like to buy us a pair
o benny - do we have a "hey you had a mount!" card to give to
people after a node mount,
+ name of folks who participated in the mount, node owners's
manual, certificate of participation?, privacy/access notes,
what is the status of the mount (is everything up and
running? anything need fixing? could tie into our own
internal logs about which deployments need more work)
